Voith delivers its 3,000th headbox – a milestone in papermaking technology
Voith has reached an important milestone with the delivery of its 3,000th headbox. Since the first Voith headbox was supplied in 1914, the company has continuously improved one of the most critical components of the paper machine. Today, Voith headboxes are installed in paper mills around the world and form the technological basis for stable production, consistent quality and high operational efficiency.
Headboxes play a central role in papermaking. Their primary task is to ensure uniform basis‑weight profiles across paper webs that can reach widths of up to ten meters.
Headboxes are not only essential for new paper machines, but also play a major role in rebuild projects, capacity increases and grade conversions.
